Two keywords: Regenerations and Diplomacy.
And yes, it was 1.31.

What makes it easy--and I know this has been said, before--is that the AI is too stiff in its rules. They simply made a wonderfully complex game, and had trouble making an opponent that could handle all the parameters. Stardock's opponents are much better at that, and if you want to see a really fantastic AI, try
Cryptic Comet's Armageddon Empires.
I know Stardock is working on a fantasy-based strategy title with some MoM-like elements. That will be interesting to see, though I admit I like the Civilization-style interface in MoM better than what Stardock does. Still, if they can reproduce a lot of those classic elements and produce a great AI, who am I to complain?
Oh, and Cryptic Comet is producing a fantasy-based strategy title set in Milton's Hell. That should be ready in about a month.
